that rather a lot of my lj chums are ill.

Behold! In Wicked Witch of the Where-the-hell-am-I mode, I fly in the dark past chimney pots and sooty black cats to send you astral goodies. Obviously those with sense will duck

But if you want to dream of some interesting wee thing you could get from my passing shade, give me a wave.

Sorry you're sick. Hope you are well very soon.

xoxoxo

*waves although to be truthful I am not ill but I have felt like I needed an exorcism for the last month. Any good karma/happy thoughts appreciated and will reciprocate as best I can.

All rightee!

with a thump, it lands on your virtual doormat. Remember the instructions contained herein; Devils are dangerous and none but qualified catholic priests should use this exorcism. Happy witchnight!

Unless, of course, thereby the illness pixies leap up and attack you, which would not be good.

They cannot leap that high without getting their little green caps caught in pylon wires. Fie upon them! Come now, Colonel, what gift would you have among those dangling from my broomstick?

Sleep, oh yes, I remember sleep, I am sure that sleep would be good, just as long as the pink spiders do not steal it.

On an entirely unconnected note, when will I have the pleasure of your company again?

sleep

Ah my fine [livejournal.com profile] cyanidemigraine! I have wanted to give you these for some time. They will all take you somewhere, some may even bring you back again. Quite a few are older than they look:

Wouldn't it be interesting if all of us who are a bit under the weather suddenly felt better at the same time?
:)
*hug*

At the same time...

Now that one does tend to resolve naturally after a while ;)
It does seem to be a bit of a trend right now-makes a nice change from the depression trend I was noticing a while back on LJ. Though I guess Suz and I have our own variation of that right now-we get the depression because we cant have kids now. Its a hard one to deal with.

I am so sorry, if I had thought of that, I wouldn't have put the above up. Would you prefer me to remove it?

Thats ok-its something we have to deal with thats all-its not like we can pretend other people can't have kids! Its one of those things where its under your nose 24/7-either friends getting pregnant, or even just seeing cute kids. I was looking through old family photos yesterday (im scanning them so we have a permanent record for the geneologists in the family) and it hit me like a brick. Over time it just gets easier, while to begin with its hard.
So-no need to take anything down. Quiet the reverse-the less we hide from it as an issue the shorter the time it will take to learn to accept it.

This perhaps is another thing for us to talk about over that wine if you are inclined *hugs*

Its just one of those things that takes a little time to absorb and accept-made a little harder because unless a lot changes where other family members are concerned it looks very much as if my side of the family is the end of the line geneologically speaking-its an odd and bizarrely disturbing thought. Getting a puppy to fuss over just isn't the same ;)

Getting together would be great btw-its just when and where thats an issue for us-life right now seems to be a complex juggling act with diaries.

Strange, I come from a diametrically opposed viewpoint; never wanted children, would sooner produce great books than a good child; and I know I am too impatient to be a good mum (now I'm told I rock as a 'demi-aunty'!) The line dying out doesn't bother me...my brother is gay, my half sister has severe and very limiting cerebral palsy, my mother has a very difficult mental condition and my father is an alcoholic - It's never going to happen!

But this is such a big subject; let us try to get together over the early summer, you, me, [profile] winggleam and may [profile] user if she's up for it. You're right about juggling diaries!

Oddly, we had mixed feelings about kids before the op-the thing is, its very different when suddenly you dont have the option to change your mind. We both toyed with the idea of kids, but knew as things stood over the last few years it wasn't going to happen for financial and lifestyle reasons-plus we both feel that its a pretty rotten world to bring a child into and kinda feel its a bit selfish to do so. I think its the sudden realisation that we cant even if we wanted to that changes things-the removal of choice.
The idea of being able to pass stuff on-both physical and even an approach to life-to children does have an odd appeal though. I guess its handling family artifacts recently that brings it to mind. Knowing there is a connection with such things-looking over old photos and joining the dots about who these people were-some I knew and some I didn't except from family stories and so on. Its strangely inspiring art-wise as well. A bit of me would like to be part of that chain instead of just an anonymous face and collection of artifacts consigned to some house clearance place. I think that if it seems these things will have that fate that I might put bits of art, little messages and so on onto them-just to make them curiousities for whoever might pick them up.

It would be good to get together once the diary juggling act can be sorted-we both enjoyed meeting you at the IAF.

There is nothing currently wrong with me that my good friend and pharmaceutical of choice, diclophenac sodium can`t sort.
Yes, I know, it makes a change.

The pocket sized one's my favourite. For when you need to be discreet.
